INCORRECT INSTALLATION, OPERATION, OR MAINTENANCE OF

EQUIPMENT MAY CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND MAY INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.

THIS INFORMATION MUST BE READ FULLY BEFORE BEGINNING

INSTALLATION, OPERATION, OR MAINTENANCE AND MUST BE KEPT
WITH THE PUMP. SUITABLY TRAINED OR QUALIFIED PERSONS MUST
UNDERTAKE ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE ONLY.

Danger - Failure to follow the listed Warning - Safety instructions which

precautionary measures may result shall be considered for reasons of safe
in serious injury or death are operation of the pump or pump unit
identified by the following symbol: and/or protection of the pump or pump
unit itself are marked by the sign:
WARNING
DANGER
DO NOT OPERATE PUMP IF:

- The front cover is not installed correctly.

- Any guards are missing or incorrectly installed.
- The suction or discharge piping is not connected.

DO NOT place fingers, etc. into the pumping chamber or its connection ports
or into any part of the gearbox if there is ANY possibility of the pump shafts
being rotated. Severe injury will occur.

DO NOT exceed the pumps rated pressure, speed, and temperature, or

change the system/duty parameters from those for which the pump was
originally supplied, without confirming its suitability for the new duty. Running
of the pump outside of its operation envelope can cause mechanical contact,
excessive heat and can represent a serious risk to health and safety.

Installation and operation of the pump must always comply with health and
safety regulations.

A device must be incorporated into the pump, system, or drive to prevent the
pump exceeding its stated duty pressure. It must be suitable for both
directions of pump rotation where applicable. Do not allow pump to operate
WARNING with a closed/blocked discharge unless a pressure relief device is
incorporated. If an integral relief valve is incorporated into the pump, do not
allow re-circulation through the relief valve for extended periods (refer to
section 3.8).

The mounting of the pump or pump unit should be solid and stable.
Pump orientation must be considered in relation to drainage/cavity
ventilation requirements. Once mounted, shaft drive elements must be

Page 5
 checked for correct alignment. Rotate pump shaft by at least one full
revolution to ensure smoothness of operation. Incorrect alignment will
produce excessive loading and will create high temperatures and
increased noise emissions. It may also be necessary to earth the pump
head to avoid the build up of a potential charge difference that could
cause a spark.

The installation must allow safe routine maintenance and inspection (to
replenish lubricants, check for leakage, monitor pressures, etc) and provide
adequate ventilation necessary to prevent overheating.

Fill all gearboxes with the recommended grades and quantities of lubricant
WARNING
(refer to section 3.4 and 8.3). Beware of over/under filling the gearbox as this
could cause the pump to overheat and mechanical damage to occur.

Before operating the pump, be sure that it and all parts of the system to which
WARNING
it is connected are clean and free from debris and that all valves in the suction
and discharge pipelines are fully opened. Ensure that all piping connecting to
the pump is fully supported and correctly aligned with its relevant connections.
Misalignment and/or excess loads will cause severe pump damage. This could
result in unexpected mechanical contact in the pump head and has the
potential to be an ignition source.

Be sure that pump rotation is correct for the desired direction of flow (refer to
WARNING
section 3.4).

Do not install the pump into a system where it will run dry (i.e. without a supply
WARNING
of pumped media) unless it is equipped with a flushed shaft seal arrangement
complete with a fully operational flushing system. Mechanical seals require a
thin fluid film to lubricate the seal faces. Dry running can cause excessive heat
and seal failure.

WARNING
Pressure gauges/sensors are recommended, next to the pump suction and
discharge connections to monitor pressures.

Caution must be taken when lifting the pump. Suitable lifting devices should
be used as appropriate. Lifting eyes installed on the pump must only be used
to lift the pump, not pump with drive and/or base plate. If pump is base plate
mounted, the base plate must be used for all lifting purposes. If slings are
used for lifting, they must be safely and securely attached. For weights of bare
shaft pumps refer to section 8.5.

DO NOT attempt any maintenance or disassembly of the pump or pump unit

without first ensuring that:

Page 6
 - The pump is fully isolated from the power source (electric, hydraulic,
pneumatic).

- The pumping chamber, pneumatic relief valve and any shaft seal
support system are depressurised and purged.

- Any temperature control devices (jackets, heat-tracing, etc) are fully

isolated, that they are depressurised and purged, and components are
allowed to reach a safe handling temperature.

DO NOT attempt to dismantle a pressure relief valve, which has not

had the spring pressure relieved, is still connected to a pressurised
gas/air supply or is mounted on a pump that is operating. Serious
personal injury or death and/or pump damage may occur.

Use only genuine Viking Pump Hygienic parts.

WARNING All certification, standards, guarantees & warranties originally supplied
with this pump will be invalidated by the use of non-genuine Service
Parts.

DO NOT loosen or undo the front cover, any connections to the pump, shaft
seal housings, temperature control devices, or other components, until sure
that such action will not allow the unsafe escape of any pressurised media.

Pumps and/or drives can produce sound power levels exceeding 85-dB (A)
under certain operating conditions. When necessary, personal protection
against noise must be taken. Typical noise emission data can be found in
section 8.8 and 8.9.

Avoid any contact with hot parts of pumps and/or drives that may cause injury.
Certain operating conditions, temperature control devices (jackets, heat-
tracing, etc.), bad installation, or poor maintenance can all promote high
temperatures on pumps and/or drives.

When cleaning, either manually or by CIP method, the operator must ensure
that a suitable procedure is used in accordance with the system requirements.
WARNING
During a CIP cleaning cycle, a pump differential pressure of between 2 and 3
bar (30 and 45 psi) is recommended to ensure suitable velocities are reached
within the pump head. The exterior of the pump should be cleaned
periodically.

Surface temperature of pump is also dependent on the temperature of

pumped medium.

any Viking Pump Hygienic authorised distributor for MultiPump pumps.

2.3 Receipts and Storage.

Upon receipt of the pump, immediately examine it for any signs of

visible damage. If any damage is noted, contact Viking Pump or their
Viking Pump Hygienic authorised distributor and clearly mark upon the
carriers’ paperwork that the goods have been received in a damaged
condition, with a brief description of damage.

If the pump is not required for immediate installation then it should be

stored in a clean, dry environment. It is recommended that storage
temperature should be between –10° and 40°C (14°F and 105°F).

Page 9
 Further to the above, if the pump is not intended for installation or use
within 18 months or more then refer to Viking Pump or their Viking
Pump Hygienic authorised distributor for storage recommendations.

2.4 Cleaning.

The MultiPump pump series is suitable for both manual cleaning and
CIP (Cleaning In Place), refer to section 3.3.2.

It is recommended that the exterior of the pump be cleaned periodically with a

non-aggressive, non-abrasive cleaning solution.

2.5 Pump Model Designation.

The designations of pump models in the MultiPump range are as

 2.5.1 ATEX Information

ATEX Pump Requirements

Mechanical seals are a source of heat and must never be allowed to run dry.
We would recommend provision be made to ensure that there is always flow
or fluid around the pump seals. If there is a risk of the supply being
interrupted, then a temperature monitoring system must be applied to ensure
the pump does not exceed the Atex rating. The surface temperature of the
pump is dependent on the temperature of the pumped fluid and a due account
of this should be taken whilst undertaking your risk assessment of the
installation. These pumps are Atex rated T3.

Only use genuine spare parts that have been designed and verified Atex
WARNING compliant by Viking Pump Hygienic, failure to use genuine spare parts will
invalidate the Atex certification.

Pumps that have the Atex certification will have an earthing point on the front
WARNING
cover, this needs to be electrically earthed before use.

The service and maintenance intervals are increased on certified Atex units,
WARNING
refer to section 3.6.1 for the required routine maintenance. Failure to maintain
the pumps to these intervals will result in the Atex certification being
invalidated.

WARNING When installing the unit make sure so far as reasonably practicable that the
pump is aligned within 5 degrees to the horizontal – failure to align the unit
could adversely affect the gearbox lubrication and could cause heat to build
up.

It is the end user’s responsibility to ensure that the Atex rating of the
equipment supplied meets the requirements of the installation.

3.0 General.

3.1 MultiPump Pumping Principal.

The pumping action of the rotary lobe pump principle is generated by the contra
rotation of two pumping elements (rotors) within a chamber (rotorcase) - see Fig
5. The rotors are located on shafts, which in turn are mounted within an external
gearbox and supported by the bearings; the timing gears are also located on
the shafts. The timing gears transfer the energy from the drive shaft to the driven
shaft, synchronising the rotors such that they rotate without contact with each
other.

As the rotors pass the suction port, see Fig 5a, the cavity generated increases
creating a pressure decrease, which induces the pumped medium to flow into
the rotorcase.

The pumped medium is carried around the rotorcase by the rotors; see Fig 5b
and 5c, to the discharge side of the pump, Fig 5d. Here the cavity decreases
and the pumped medium is discharged from the rotorcase, Fig 5e.

For pump component terms see Fig 4.

Fig 5 Rotary Lobe Pumping Principle.

Page 14
 3.2 MultiPump Range Operating Parameters.

The maximum pressure and speed operating parameters are given in Fig 6. In
practice these may be limited due to the nature of the product to be pumped
and/or design of the system in which the pump is to be installed. Consult Viking
Pump or your Viking Pump Hygienic authorised distributor for assistance.

The operating temperature limit of the pump is determined by the rotor

clearance. For the MP10, MP20, MP30 and MP40 series pumps there are three
rotor clearance bands (class A, B and C), and two (class B and D) for the MP50
series pumps.

If the system or product characteristics are to be changed from the original

WARNING application for which the pump was selected, Viking Pump or their Viking Pump
Hygienic authorised distributor should be consulted to ensure the pump is
suitable for the new application.

The pump should not be subjected to sudden temperature changes to avoid the
risk of damage from sudden expansion/contraction of components. Care should
be taken when selecting pumps for handling liquids containing abrasive
particles as these may cause wear of pump head components. For advice or
assistance contact Viking Pump or your Viking Pump Hygienic authorised
distributor.

 3.3 System Design.

3.3.1 System Design and Installation.

When incorporating any pump into a system it is considered good practice to
minimize piping runs and the number of pipe fittings (tees, unions, bends etc.)
and restrictions. Particular care should be taken in designing the suction line,
which should be as short and straight as possible with a minimum of pipe
fittings to minimise restricting product flow to the pump. The following should
be considered at the design stage of any system

Be sure ample room is provided around the pump to allow for:

− Access to the pump and drive for routine inspection and maintenance, i.e.
to remove pump front cover and rotors.
− Ventilation of the drive to prevent over heating.

The exterior of the pump unit may exceed 68°C (154°F),

Appropriate measures must be taken to warn or protect operators.
The pump must not be used to support piping. All piping to and from the pump
WARNING unit must be independently supported. Failure to observe this may distort the
pump head components or assembly and cause serious consequential
damage to the pump.
Valves should be provided adjacent to the pump suction and discharge
connections to allow the pump to be isolated from the system for routine
inspection and maintenance.

Rotary lobe pumps are of the positive displacement type and therefore an
overload protection device must be provided. This can take the form of:
− An in-line pressure relief system, i.e. external to the pump.

− Incorporation of a torque-limiting device in the drive system.

It is recommended that all piping and associated equipment from the tank to
WARNING the discharge point is thoroughly cleaned before installation of the pump to
avoid the possibility of debris entering the pump and causing damage.
Pressure gauges should be installed adjacent to the pump suction and
discharge connections such that system pressures can be monitored. These
WARNING gauges will provide a clear indication of changes in operating conditions and
where a relief valve is incorporated in the system, will be necessary for setting
and checking the functioning of the valve.
It is imperative that the suction condition at the pump inlet meets the Net
WARNING Positive Suction Head required (NPSHr) by the pump. Failure to observe this
could cause cavitation, resulting in noisy operation, reduction in flow rate and
mechanical damage to the pump and associated equipment.

Page 17
WARNING The Net Positive Suction Head available (NPSHa) from the system must
always exceed the Net Positive Suction Head required (NPSHr) by the pump.

Observing the following general guidelines should ensure the best possible
suction condition is created.

− Suction piping is at least the same diameter as the pump connections.

− The length of suction piping is kept to the absolute minimum.

− The minimum number of bends, tees and pipework restrictions are used.

− Calculations to determine system NPSHa are carried out for the worst
condition see below.
Should advice on pump or system NPSH characteristics be required contact
the factory or their authorised distributor.

When installing a pump complete with base plate, motor and drive, the following
guidelines must be observed:

a) The preferred drive arrangement for any rotary lobe pump is in-line
direct coupled. If an alternative is required contact Viking Pump or your
Viking Pump Hygienic authorised distributor.

b) Flexible couplings must always be incorporated and correctly aligned

within the limits recommended by the coupling manufacturer. To check
coupling alignment rotate the shaft by at least one full revolution and
ensure that the shaft rotates smoothly.

Couplings of a non-flexible design must never be used.

c) Couplings must always be enclosed in a suitable guard to prevent

contact with rotating parts, which could result in personal injury. Guards
should be of suitable material, (see d) and of sufficiently rigid design to
prevent contact with rotating parts under normal operating conditions.

d) When the pump is installed in a flammable or explosive environment, or

is used for handling flammable or explosive materials, special
consideration must be given. Not only to the safety aspects of the drive
unit enclosure but also to the materials used for both the coupling and
the guard to eliminate the risk of explosion.

e) Base plates must be secured to a flat level surface such that distortion
and misalignment are avoided. Once base plates are fastened in
position the drive alignment must be re-checked, (see b).

f) When using electric motor drives, ensure that the electrical supply is
compatible with the drive and controls and that the method of wiring is
correct for the type of starting required by the motor i.e. Direct On Line,
or other similar method. Ensure all components are correctly grounded.

3.3.2 Pump and Motor Alignment.

Before the pump unit is installed is it important to ensure that the mounting
surface is flat to avoid distortion of the baseplate, which may cause
pump/motor shaft misalignment and pump/motor unit damage. Once the
baseplate has been secured, the pump shaft to motor shaft coupling alignment
should be checked and adjusted as necessary. This is achieved by checking
the maximum angular and parallel misalignment for the couplings as stated
below, the recommended couplings are KTR Rotex. Shaft alignment that is
outside the stated tolerances can be corrected by applying shims under the
motor or pump foot, or, by moving the pump or driving sideways on the
baseplate. All bolts that have been loosened should be re-tightened to the
stated torque figure.

 3.3.3 Installations with CIP Systems.

The MultiPump pump range is designed to be effectively cleaned by the CIP

procedures recommended for in place cleaning of process plant. It is
recommended that a differential pressure of 2 to 3 Bar (30 to 45 psi) be
developed across the pump head during cleaning in order to develop the
necessary fluid velocities required for thorough cleaning.

3.4 Start Up Procedure.

WARNING - Check that all piping and associated equipment are clean and free from
debris and that all pipe connections are secure and leak free.

WARNING - For pumps fitted with flushed product seals check all auxiliary services are
in place and connected and provide sufficient flow and pressure for
flushing purposes, refer to section 7.0.

- Ensure lubrication is provided for both pump and drive. The MultiPump is
WARNING shipped without oil as standard and should be filled to the level of the oil
sight glass - refer to section 8.3 for pump oil capacities and grades.

- If an external relief valve is incorporated in the system, check that it is set

correctly. For start up purposes, it is considered good practice to set the
WARNING relief valve lower than the system design pressure. On completion of start
up, the relief valve should be reset to the required setting for the
application. The required setting should never exceed the lower of either
the pumps maximum pressure rating or the system design pressure. For
setting integral relief valves refer to sections 3.8.1 and 3.8.2.

- Be sure both suction and discharge valves are fully opened and that pipe
WARNING work is free from all obstructions. The MultiPump is a positive
displacement type pump and should therefore never be operated against
a closed valve as this would result in pressure overload, resulting in
damage to the pump and possibly the system.

WARNING - Make sure that the drive shaft rotation is correct for the direction of flow
required. See Fig 8.

Page 21
 Fig 8 Rotation against Suction and Discharge

- Be sure product is available in the suction vessel before starting the pump.
WARNING
This is very important for pumps fitted with un-flushed product seals, as
these sealing arrangements must never be allowed to run dry.

- Before beginning operation, it is considered good practice to momentarily

start/stop the pump to check the direction of rotation and ensure that the
pump is free of obstructions. Once this has been carried out, begin
operation keeping a visual check on suction and discharge pressure
gauges and monitor the pump temperature and absorbed power where
possible.

3.5 Shutdown Procedure.

When shutting the pump down, stop pump, close both the suction and discharge
valves and ensure that the necessary safety precautions are taken:

- The prime mover power source has been isolated.

- If installed, pneumatically operated integral relief valve has been

depressurised.

- Flushed product seal auxiliary services have been isolated and

depressurised.

- Pump head and piping have been drained and purged.

- Before undertaking any work on the pump refer to sections 4, 5, 6 and 7.

Page 22
 3.6 Routine Maintenance – Non Atex units.

Oil

WARNING - Check oil levels regularly.

- Change the oil every 12 months or 3000 operating hours, whichever is
the sooner.

For lubricant capacities and grades refer to section 5.3.

Seal Replacement Interval:

It is recommended that the Rotor Retainer O-ring seal is replaced every 12

months to maintain a bacteria-tight seal.

Rotor Retainer Seal Inspection:

Periodically inspect the Rotor Retainer O-ring seal for any discolouration,
nicks, or cracks. If any of the defects above are noticed, the O-ring seal must
be replaced. Inspection and replacement refer to the seal replacement
procedure.

3.6.1 Additional Routine Maintenance – Atex units.

Oil

WARNING - Check oil levels on startup.

- Check for any signs of overheating.
- Change the oil every 6 months or 1500 operating hours, whichever is the
sooner.

For lubricant capacities and grades refer to section 5.3.

After 14000 hours of use, the pump will need a general overhaul and it will need
to be re-certified for use within the Atex environment.
WARNING
A general overhaul must include a full disassembly of all components and the
following work carried out.

• Clean all pump components

• Examination of all components for damage/wear
• Replacement of all taper roller bearings
• Replacement of all elastomeric components
• Replacement of all seals, radial seals, and Gamma rings

Page 23
 The general overhaul must be carried out by qualified personnel in a specialist
workshop with the appropriate equipment. Re-certification must then be
carried out.

We highly recommend that the general overhaul is carried out by Viking Pump.

3.7 Heating and Cooling Jackets.

See Fig 9 and Fig 10.

The MultiPump can be supplied with a jacketed front cover and rotorcase for
circulation of a heating/cooling media.

The front cover and rotorcase jacket ports are strategically positioned such that
the required thermal effect acts on the pumping chamber.

The pressure rating of the MultiPump series jacketed front cover and rotorcase
is 3 Bar (50 psi) and this should not be exceeded without consulting Viking Pump
or your Viking Pump Hygienic authorised distributor.

Heating/cooling of the pump head is used to maintain, rather than

increase/decrease the temperature of the pumped media and should be used
as part of a complete system where suction and discharge lines and vessels are
also heated/cooled.

Where heating/cooling devices are employed, the heating/cooling media should

be circulated 15-20 minutes prior to pump start-up and should be allowed to
continue for a similar period of time after the pump has been shut down. Where
a CIP cycle is employed as part of the process, then the heating/cooling media
should continue to be circulated during the cleaning cycle.

3.8 Integral Pressure Relief Valves.
See Fig 11, 12, 13 and 14.

The MultiPump models MP10, MP20, MP30 and MP40 can be supplied with
integral pressure relief valves. For the MP10, MP20 and MP30 both spring and
air loaded versions are available. The function of the valves can be further
enhanced with the option of manual or airlift override, offering particular benefits
where CIP or SIP procedures are employed. Valves incorporating this option
can be opened to regulate the flow of the cleaning media through the pump
chamber, thereby avoiding the need for manual cleaning or external bypass.

Where the pump is mounted onto a portable base plate, complete with motor
and drive to be used as a mobile set, an integral pressure relief valve should be
installed.

The MultiPump integral pressure relief valves available include:

Spring Loaded - see Fig 11.

- Valve can be set to the required pressure relief setting.

Spring Loaded with Manual Lift - see Fig 12.

- Valve can be set to the required pressure relief setting. Manual lift override
can be used to open valve without disturbing pressure relief setting.

Spring Loaded with Air Lift - see Fig 13.

- Valve can be set to the required pressure relief setting. Airlift override, which
operates on an air supply of up to 7 Bar (102 psi) depending on pressure
relief setting, can be used to open valve without disturbing pressure relief
setting.

Air Loaded with Air Lift - see Fig 14.

- Valve, which operates on an air supply of up to 7 Bar (102 psi) regulated for
required setting, can be set to the required pressure relief setting. Airlift
override, which operates on an air supply of up to 7 Bar (102 psi) depending
on pressure relief setting, can be used to open valve without disturbing
pressure relief setting.

Air actuated relief valves can be operated remotely and interfaced with other
elements of the system or process control.

Integral pressure relief valves are normally used to protect the pump from the
effects of increases in system pressure caused, for example, by a restricted or

Page 27
 closed discharge line. In response to a pressure increase, the valve opens and
internally circulates the pumped media within the pump chamber. When the
valve opens, because the volume of liquid circulating is relatively small, the
WARNING temperature of the liquid in the pump chamber may rise if the pump continues
to operate for an extended period. In severe cases, this may result in
temperatures in excess of the pumps operating limits, or vaporisation of the
liquid, both of which should be avoided. For these reasons when the valve is
activated the cause of the system pressure increase should be eliminated as
continuous operation of the pump with the valve open is not recommended and
may cause severe damage to the pump.

If the pump on which the valve is fitted is to be installed within either a

pressurised system or one incorporating a vessel under vacuum then the
application of the valve should be referred to Viking Pump.

The selection, setting and application of integral relief valves is influenced by

the viscosity and nature of the pumped media, the pumps operating speed and
the required pressure relief setting and mode of operation. For these reasons
and to cover the diverse range of products, the conditions under which they are
pumped and application demands, it is not practical to factory-set integral relief.
Valves and the setting of the valves should be carried out on site, under the
proposed duty conditions for which the pump and valve were selected.

For setting and operating MultiPump integral relief valves refer to sections 3.8.1
and 3.8.2. Before beginning the relief valve setting procedure the pump should
be installed, refer to section 3.3.1, paragraph (vi), with a pressure gauge in the
discharge line adjacent to the pump discharge port.

3.8.1 Setting and Operating Spring Loaded Valves.

See Fig 11, 12 and 13.

- Remove cover (108). For integral relief valve with manual lift, see Fig 12;
first remove nut (129) and hand wheel (111).

- Unscrew nut (107) using pry bar in holes provided to relieve spring
compression. For integral relief valve with airlift, see Fig 13, the air cylinder
must be exhausted prior to unscrewing the nut (107).

- Start pump. - refer to section 3.4.

- Screw in nut (107) using pry bar in holes provided until the required pressure
relief setting is reached.

Note: Care should be taken not to exceed the lower of either the pump's
WARNING
maximum pressure rating or the system design pressure.
- Reinstall cover (108). For integral relief valve with manual lift, see Fig 12;
reinstall hand wheel (111) and nut (129).

- The relief valve is now set.

Page 28
 For Integral Relief Valve with Manual Lift - see Fig 12.

- To operate the manual lift, turn the hand wheel (111) clockwise, which will
lift the valve head (102/128). To resume normal relief valve operation, turn
the hand wheel (111) counter-clockwise.

For Integral Relief Valve with Air Lift - see Fig 13.

- To actuate the airlift, connect an air supply not exceeding 7 Bar (102 psi) to
the cylinder (123), connection 'B', which will lift the valve head (112). To
resume normal relief valve operation, exhaust the cylinder (123).

3.8.2 Setting and Operating Air Loaded Integral Pressure Relief Valves.
See Fig 14.

- Connect an air supply, not exceeding 7 Bar (102 psi), via a regulating valve
to the relief valve connection 'A' in the cylinder (114). Do not turn on the air
supply.

- Start the pump, refer to section 3.4.

- Using the regulating valve, gradually increase the air pressure until required
pressure relief setting is reached. The air pressure must not exceed 7 Bar
(102 psi).

- The relief valve is now set.

Note: Care should be taken not to exceed the lower of either the pump's
WARNING
maximum pressure rating or the system design pressure.

- To use the air lift system, the regulated air supply must be routed through a
change-over valve in order to transfer air from the relief valve load air
chamber, connection 'A', to the lift air chamber, connection 'B', while
depressurizing the load chamber and vice versa. The change-over valve
will actuate the air lift which will lift when the air supply is diverted to
connection 'B', and will close, restoring normal relief valve operation, when
the air supply is diverted back to connection 'A'.

DANGER

Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to disassemble a

pressure relief valve which has not had the spring pressure relieved, is still
connected to a pressurized air supply or is mounted on a pump that is
operating. Serious personal injury or pump damage may occur.

 4.0 MultiPump Disassembly and Assembly.

Before starting any work on the pump the recommended Shutdown Procedure
should be followed, refer to section 3.5.

While disassembling or assembling the pump it is essential to ensure that the

pump and/or components are secured to provide adequate stability.

Large pump components or sub-assemblies should be installed using suitable

devices. Use threaded holes for the attachment of lifting eyes where
appropriate.

During disassembly or before assembly, all components should be inspected

for fit, wear and damage. If worn or damaged the components should be
replaced.

The position of all parts should be identified as they are removed to ensure they
are reinstalled in the same position.

Lipseals and o-rings are incorporated within the gearbox assembly to contain
the lubricant for the bearings and timing gears. Regular inspection and correct
maintenance of these items will ensure that the lubrication is sustained and the
pump maximum working life is achieved. To ensure this, it is extremely
important that care is taken when removing and replacing new o-rings and
lipseals. When removing and replacing lipseals ensure that the location bore for
the outside diameter and the seat for the back of the lipseal is not damaged as
this may create a leak path for the lubricant.

When removing lipseals or o-rings care should be taken to avoid cutting or

tearing the sealing faces as they pass over keyways, splines, threads or other
potentially sharp or abrasive edges. All lipseals and o-rings should be carefully
examined and if damaged in any way, be replaced.

All o-rings and sealing lips of lipseals should be lightly lubricated with an
appropriate lubricant (suitable for application) before installing.

When installing lipseals do not allow the rear face to come into contact with
bearings or other rotating parts.

Prior to beginning assembly, ensure all parts are clean and free from burrs or
damage. Where a vice is to be used then this should be installed with protective
jaws to avoid damage to components. Do not hammer or apply undue force to
install or position components.

WARNING All fasteners are required to be tightened to the required torque setting during
assembly, refer to section 8.2.

Page 32
The preferred method of installing bearing cones is that they are heated to
approximately 125°C (250°F) prior to installation. During this operation
protective gloves should be used. Once bearing cones are installed in the
correct position they should be allowed to cool before proceeding with
assembly. As an alternative, bearing cones may be pressed into position
providing the proper equipment is utilised and the necessary procedures are
used to prevent component damage.

Under no circumstances should bearing cones or cups be hammered into

position.

5.1 General Procedures for Installing Mechanical Seals.

"Quick summary" of mechanical seal installation

- Mechanical seals are precision-engineered assemblies incorporating finely

lapped seal faces and seats. They must be handled with care and will not
give optimum performance unless installed carefully and according to
instructions.

- When mechanical seals are to be reused, ensure seal components are kept
in their appropriate sets. Do not mix old and new seal faces on the same
seal.

- Remove any sharp corners and burrs that may damage any elastomers
such as o-rings or lipseals.

- Be sure that all seal component fitting bores and housings are thoroughly
cleaned before installation.

- The seal faces and seats must be handled with care and cleaned thoroughly
before installation.

- Be sure that seal faces are undamaged and the o-rings are not cut, swollen
or cracked.

- All o-rings should be lightly lubricated with a suitable lubricant (silicon

grease, soap etc.) before installation but ensure there is no excessive
amount of lubricant especially around the seal face area.

- Ensure when installing seals with brittle faces and seats such as silicon
carbide that extra care is taken.

- Do not use any excessive force to install a mechanical seal. If it is difficult

to position and assemble the seal then something is wrong.

- If you drop or damage a seal, do not install it before an inspection has been
carried out.

WARNING - Do not run a mechanical seal dry.

Page 88
 "Quick Summary" of packed gland seal installation.

- Packed gland seals are a simple but effective means of shaft sealing. They
will provide optimum performance only if installed carefully and according to
instructions.

WARNING
- For satisfactory lubrication purposes the pumped media or the
flushing media must always weep slowly out of the rear of the packed
gland seal assembly. Never tighten so much as to completely stop
leakage.

- Remove any sharp corners and burrs that may damage packing rings or
any elastomers such as o-rings or lipseals.

- Always inspect shaft sleeves for wear when the packed gland seal is
dismantled or serviced.

- Be sure that all seal component fitting bores, housings, followers, sleeves
etc. are thoroughly cleaned before installation.

- When inserting packing rings ensure that they are installed neatly to the
rotorcase bores without loose strands.

- Be sure that ring joint gaps are set at approximately 120° to each other
around the rotorcase bores so as not to create a leakage path.

- All o-rings should be lightly lubricated with a suitable lubricant (silicon

grease, soap etc.) before installation.

- When installing PTFE encapsulated o-rings it is important to immerse them

in hot water for several minutes to soften them.

- Where installed ensure lantern rings are positioned so as to match correctly

the flushing ports.

WARNING - Do not run a packed gland seal dry.

 7.0 Flushed Product Seals Auxiliary Services.

i) Terminology.

a) "Quench"
- To provide a liquid barrier that is not induced to flow through the
seal area by any external means.

b) "Flush"
- To provide a liquid barrier that is induced to flow through the seal
area by an external means.

ii) Quench or Flush Media

The media used for quenching or flushing a seal area must be fully compatible
WARNING with the pumped media, and the relevant materials of construction of the pump.

Special consideration must be given to the temperature limitations of the media

to ensure that no hazards are created, e.g. risk of fire or explosion.

7.1 Single Mechanical Seal (for Low-Pressure Quench or Flush).

See Fig 17 (MP10), Fig 27 (MP20, MP30, MP40) and Fig 50 (MP50).

Refer to section 4.3.3.

This seal arrangement requires a supply of media to the outboard side of the
mechanical seal to quench or flush the seal area. The nature of the pumped
media and the specific duty conditions will determine whether a quench or a
flush is required.

A quench provides a static head. The quench media vessel should be mounted
a minimum of 0.5m (1.5 Feet) above the pump, preferably directly above the
seal area. The interconnecting pipe work should be as straight as possible,
avoiding horizontal runs, and with the minimum number of bends and
restrictions.

For a suitable flush, the media must be supplied at a flow rate of 4.5 Litres per
minute per shaft seal.

WARNING Note: The limiting flush or quench pressure in any application is 0.7 Bar
(10 psig).

Page 97
 7.2 Double Mechanical Seal (for High Pressure Flush).
- See Fig 18 (MP10) and Fig 28 (MP20, MP30, MP40) and Fig 51 (MP50)

Refer to section 4.3.4.

This seal arrangement requires a supply of media to be circulated between the

inboard and outboard mechanical seals.

Q = (0.6 x p + 0.25) x n x d3 x T
cp x ρ x 2.5x109
Q = Flow rate [ l/hr ]
p = Applied buffer / barrier pressure [ bar ]
n = Shaft speed [ rpm ]
d = Shaft diameter [ mm ]
- MP10/0005, 0008, 0011 – 30 mm
- MP20/0020, 0031 – 35 mm
- MP30/0069, 0113 – 50 mm
- MP40/0180, 0250 – 70 mm
- MP50/0351, 0525 – 80 mm
T = Temperature of processed media [ °C ]
ρ = Specific gravity of buffer / barrier fluid [ kg/dm3 ]
cp = Specific heat capacity for buffer / barrier fluid [ kJ/(kg x K) ]

Typical values for some common barrier fluids:

Media Density [kg/dm3] Specific Heat [ kJ/(kg x K)

Water 1.0 4.2
Olive Oil 0.9 1.6
Mineral Oil 0.9 1.7
Acetone 0.8 2.2

The flush media must be supplied at a minimum flow rate of 0.5 Litres/ Minute
per seal, this can be worked out by the following equation where “Q” is the flow
rate.

The flush pressure must be a minimum of 1 Bar (15 psi) greater than the
maximum discharge pressure created by, or the maximum suction pressure
applied to, the pump, whichever is the greater.

Note: The limiting flush pressure in any application is 13 Bar (188 psig).
WARNING

Note: The liquid supply connections to flushed seals are made using the
threaded ports on the sides of the seal housings (two per seal,
except MP10 & MP20 models, which have common seal housings
encompassing both shaft seals). For models MP30 to MP50
inclusive, one port on each housing should be used for flush 'in'
and the other for flush 'out'. The pipe work should be arranged to
provide an independent flush to each seal.

Page 98
 7.3 Flushed Packed Gland Seal
- See Fig 73 (MP10, MP20, MP30 & MP40) & Fig 75 (MP50)

This seal arrangement requires a supply of compatible liquid to be fed to the

lantern ring, which is, located part way along the length of the packed seal so
as to quench or flush the seal area, or to provide suitable lubrication.

The flushing media should be supplied at a suitable flow rate and pressure so
WARNING as to ensure, at minimum, a continuous weep out of the rear of the packed gland
seal assembly.
